So, 11 rounds at one round a day starting tomorrow at 15:00 which I assume is CET and 14:00 UK time?

Also, no regular ENG team members but quite a few young and improving ENG players. I wonder, is the ECF supporting their participation (I hope so)?

Based on the countdown clock on chess24 then 2 pm UK time but with a 15 minute broadcast delay

round 1 pairings

If true, HUGE upset victory for the unknown English amateur.

Wins also for Grieve, Royal and Wadsworth

And a good draw for Alfie Onslow

Yes, Tristan did win, he posted about it on Facebook. Hardly unknown though.

Can someone post the game won by Tristan against Neverov?

He used to play quite a bit twenty years ago. I might have claimed playing a theoretical novelty in the Tromp against him although it wasn't because a Dutch player got the credit for an earlier game and a mention in Peter Wells's book. He said in the post mortem that Danny Gormally was his trainer and that he had been told I might play the Tromp.

Hardly unknown maybe, but still impressive and noteworthy.

All five English IMs move up to the show boards to meet 2600+ opposition.
